Is Albo a weak and embarrassing leader?
Jun 27th, 2025 at 5:12pm
 
I am getting weak vibes from Anthony Albanese.

It is almost as if his entire approach to being Prime Minister is to be like the Sydney University Student Union president. Policies that make no sense (renewables only, unlimited immigration, taxing unrealised capital gains etc) and the fact he seems scared of organising a meeting with the leader of our most important ally, the United States.

It is almost like he is worried what Donald Trump and JD Vance will do to him during the public part of the meeting, which used to be an opportunity for small talk so the cameras can get their shots.

Will Donald Trump make clear how low our defence spending is? Will he bring up the deleted tweets of both Albanese and Kevin Rudd?

Albo now answering questions like the Biden Comedy Show.
Looking unhappy, uncomfortable and unwilling.

This punk fake PM needs to be sacked!

Albo had a great, well paid, Media Show.
Just like the Democrats had to put Biden in.
Voldermoort did not wether by his own choice or not, no-one knows?



Newsflash!!!!

Albo again cuts short Media questions and bolts without a thankyou or have a nice day.

ALP set to erect Partition Boards in Parliament during Question Time.
Move over Communism. Roll Eyes

Albanese and the Labor Party as a whole are a joke when it comes to the ADF. At this point, we'd struggle to defend the Top End against the Indonesians, to say nothing of China. We used to have two aircraft carrier strike groups. Now we have a floating helicopter pad that could have and should have been upgraded to take the F-35B. Kevin Rudd was PM then and his government oversaw this decision. What they should've done instead was go to the Americans for an America-class amphibious assault ship, as they can do everything our LHD's can do, plus embark a squadron of fighter jets. They also have an impressive array of self-defence weapons, something our LHD's lack entirely.

It was a colossal mistake for our Defence Minister to rule out raising our defence spending to anywhere near what the Americans were asking for, but I think I know why they have made that decision - at least in part. Albo wants to kill the AUKUS deal. Why? Because he hates anything with nuclear in it, even if it's solely for power generation, not nuclear weapons. It's not based on science or anything like this. It's a purely ideological opposition to anything nuclear, not fact-based. He is privately hoping that Trump will say, "Well if you won't increase your defence spending, I am going to kill the AUKUS deal". This is what Albo and Marles are no doubt hoping will happen because it gives them a way out of the deal and they can say, "Don't blame us - we didn't kill the deal!". The truth is, if this does happen, they DID kill the deal.

Australia needs nuclear powered submarines because conventional diesel-electric submarines simply do not have the range, endurance, speed or depth capabilities that our navy requires in order to not only protect our coastline, but also our sea lanes and conduct intelligence operations far from our shores. A nuclear submarine could leave port and head to the South China Sea and not come to the surface until it returned to port, whereas a diesel-electric would need to at least come to periscope depth a number of times to recharge the batteries with diesel generators, increasing the risk of detection each time. It's a no-brainer for an island country like ours that we need nuclear-powered submarines.

Ohh Blow it out your arse. You've had 3 liberal prime minsters since then, over a 9 year period. Why didn't they buy the American assault ship? They clearly have no problem reneging on deals made by previous PM's.

I view Albo as weak.

I’m not embarrassed by him. In all reality Australia is so unimportant to the rest of the world nobody actually knows who he is so nothing to be embarrassed about.

On the positive side he has brought a government that so far is free of corruption and the normal politician rorts. That we know of. With his secret national corruption scheme we don’t know who is under investigation or for what. Not very transparent is it?

Unlike the lnp who has just elected a leader who is tainted by her corruption and rorts.

I’ll give old  Albo a five out of ten.

His  a very pretty boy with his blonde streaks covering up his thin old grey hair.

The America class LHDs cost:
    US$10.094 billion – initial program cost for 3 ships ($3.4B/unit[1] FY15)
    65 officers, 994 enlisted
    1,687 Marines

The Canberra Class LHDs cost:
    A$3.1 billion (2007) for two units
    A$1.55 billion (2007) per unit
    358 personnel; 293 RAN, 62 Australian Army, 3 RAAF
    Troops 1,046 standard/1,600 overload

So, are you prepared to pay three times as much for an America class?  Of course I'm not costing in the massive cost of it's airwing and it's weapon systems.  You would require another 10 billion dollars for it's airwing alone and that is just for it's helicopters, let alone it's strike aircraft.  Then you have the personnel costs, for a crew three times the size of the Canberra's.  Seems we would need to increase taxes considerably.  Are you prepared for the moans from your Liberal Party shills?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Yes, prepared.

We either mesh in with the American/NATO/western alliance or we are playing silly buggers with Bbwiyawn/Penny Wank/Green Left mongs.

Albo is actually doing something right-

https://www.defence.gov.au/news-events/releases/2025-03-28/contract-signed-estab...


We should embrace Trump’s call to increase funding!

We definitely depend on the USA for our defence but we need to pay our own way!

We don’t need to buy anything from overseas.

We can spend our money locally developing our own defence systems.

It’s really a win win.

We develop our own defence and share ( or better still sell) to the USA.


We build our own defence capabilities.

That we will always share with our allies!

Twilight Zone. When America/NATO/western alliance commit to our defence, other than with a mere conference, then you might have a point.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
